BeamElect – A free and easy way to help members make the best decision on benefits

Say goodbye to paper forms and hello to Beam’s new enrollment tool, BeamElect!

BeamElect is a proprietary decision support tool that seamlessly integrates with Beam’s digital-first platform alongside other features like Lighthouse and the Beam Member dashboard.^*

It’s just one of the many ways Beam is modernizing the benefits experience with our technology focused approach.

Why did we create BeamElect?

At Beam, we pride ourselves on building technology and benefits solutions that support small businesses who classically are underserved and lack the resources that larger companies typically have to invest in HR tech. BeamElect aims to equip small business owners and HR teams to more easily distribute, educate, and elect their employees into benefits. Best of all, BeamElect is completely free!

Take a look at some of the challenges businesses face when administering their benefits:

• Nearly half of employees (45%) say there are elements of their benefits package they do not fully understand ¹
• Companies that do not utilize automated benefit enrollment spend roughly 50 percent more time on administrative tasks ²

‍With BeamElect, you can say goodbye to:

• Paperwork, and re-entering the same information across different tools
• The hassle involved in navigating timelines and collecting responses from members

We’re enhancing the benefits experience for everyone. BeamElect simplifies benefit enrollment for members, enabling them to confidently understand their benefit options and make elections. For brokers and groups using BeamElect, enrollment administration is streamlined through technology connected throughout the Beam platform — which means no more hassle managing spreadsheets, emails, or manual forms.

What to expect with BeamElect

Effortless enrollment

BeamElect collects all the necessary information from your employees, saving you time and hassle. If you choose to enroll with BeamElect, you'll have the opportunity to invite members directly into the enrollment experience. From there, members are presented a self-guided and educational experience that collects all the relevant enrollment information in addition to benefit election choices.

Benefits, simplified

We provide examples and educational guidance to help employees understand their options better. We understand that navigating the variety of benefits and options can be both stressful and complicated. That's why with BeamElect, we provide education and real-world examples to help demystify benefits and allow members to make the right choices for their individual circumstances.

Easy elections
